The chicken coop and the incubator in Okahandja – a very good idea. The chickens lay eggs and, before you know it, chicks hatch, having been incubated in the solar-powered incubator.

Unfortunately, due to Corona, there are currently significantly fewer large festivals and family celebrations, funerals or other social events. Normally, most chickens or chicks are needed here to offer good meals. As a result, there are now too many adult chickens that cost a lot of money to feed, but whose sale value does not continue to rise.

To avoid having to feed too many chickens and to keep costs manageable, the solar hatchery will be paused for a short time until the majority of the adult chickens have been sold. In addition, we want to sell, „internally“, 10 plucked chickens each to some of our other steps projects.

How can these chickens be prepared well?

A small how-to video from Guido von Wietersheim, farm owner from Namibia, gives us an idea. Even in the winter sun, cooking with the solar oven made in our carpentry workshop in Gobabis works excellently.
